Three Year Blogoversary and Giveaway

Hi everyone! It's officially The Book Belles' 3rd Blogoversary. Through blogging, I've met so many incredible people and had several great opportunities that I'm appreciative to have had.

Events in 2014:

This year, I co-hosted the YA Contemporary Challenge with Katie's Book Blog. It's been one of my favorite challenges for the past few years, so it was amazing to have the chance to co-host it! I'll be running the challenge next year, and sign-ups will open soon.

Katie and I also hosted the 1st Annual YA Contemporary Scavenger Hunt, and 28 authors participated. It was such a fun experience and there definitely will be another scavenger hunt next year!

For the second year in a row, Rachel from Beauty and the Bookshelf and I co-hosted The Belles' Enchanted Book Exchange. Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

I was able to meet Robin LaFevers, Jenny Han, Tahereh Mafi, Anna Banks, Mary E. Pearson, and Marissa Meyer at book events.

Thank You's:

The Bloggers: There's so many incredible bloggers whose blogs I love to visit or who leave the sweetest comments. Rachel from A Perfection Called Books is a relatively new blogger, and has so many awesome posts and recommendations! If you're not yet following her blog, you definitely should be ;) Em from The YA Book Butterfly is one of my real life friends and we're currently teaming up for January Epic Recs. Lili from Lili's Reflections is always awesome to talk to and one of my first blogging friends. Beth from Living a Goddess Life hosts great swaps (such as the 12 Days of Christmas Swap) along with featuring both bookish and lifestyle content on her blog. I'm planning to try one of her Printcess eyeshadows eventually! They're so pretty (especially the Fairytale collection) :) Ali from Kindlemom and Tanja from Ja čitam, a ti? leave the nicest comments and are two places I always check for reviews of books that I'm planning to read. Maji Bookshelf and Katie's Book Blog are two of the first blogs I ever followed and still favorites of mine. There's so many other amazing blogs that I'm probably forgetting.

One Direction: They're my favorite band ever and I was able to see them in Pasadena this year, which was incredible!

5 Seconds of Summer: Their cover of What I Like About You is awesome if you haven't heard it, and their new album is full of amazing songs. Every member plays an instrument, too :)

TV Shows:

Veronica Mars: I watched this entire show at the very beginning of the year, and it's now one of my all time favorites! I love Logan and the mysteries throughout the show are so intriguing.

The 100: I haven't read the books, and I'm not sure if I will, but I've loved the show since its' beginning. Bellarke needs to happen and this show just seems to get better and better ;)

Selfie: Sadly, this show was recently canceled but the unaired episodes are being uploaded to Hulu. This show is hilarious, and it's another one that progressively gets better as it goes on.

Giveaway

There will be three winners for the following international giveaway. Each winner will be able to pick a prize pack of their choice from the five options below. All of the books are either personal favorites or books that other bloggers have loved. Good luck! :)

Happy blogoversary and thank you so much for the giveaway! <3 If I won, I'd either choose prize pack #1 or prize pack #2 as they're all books I'd want to read! Probably prize pack #2 because I desperately want to read Cruel Beauty and Kiss of Deception!

Congratulations on 3 years guys!!! I took part in Belle's EBE this year and it was fabulous! Will definitely be doing it next year if you guys run it again!! Excellent giveaway too! I'd probably pick prize pack 4 or 5! R x

Congrats on three years! That's awesome. I didn't see all the episodes, but I really liked Selfie too. It always seems like the shows I like get canceled. :( I like One Direction too...as you know! LOL

I would pick prize pack #2 definitely!!!! I want all three of those books so bad!!!! Congratulations on 3 years in the blogging world! that's amazing! I've only been blogging for a year, and I loved following you! I hope your next year is just as awesome!

Congratulations! I hope all our hard work with the blog is as rewarding as it is probably stressful. ;) Three years! Hooray! Thanks so much for the giveaways, book reviews, and fun. It's a pleasure to follow you.

YAY :D Congrats on three years. <3 That is all kinds of amazing! I just turned three in October, hih :) Blogging is the best. <3 I would love to win prize pack 1 :) Thank you so so much for the chance. <3

Aw, thanks so much for the love! :DI adore Veronica Mars, too (you've seen the movie, right? And read the book that happens after it?). I've actually heard The 100 TV show is better than the book (the first book, anyway). Thanks for hosting the Book Exchange and the Scavenger Hunt! I'm looking forward to both next year. :)Happy Blogversary!

Happy Blogoversary!! Congratulations on three years! I love the 100 too, but I haven't read the books yet either... too many books on the tbr list here. Thank you for hosting the YA contemporary scavenger hunt! I really loved it, and it was lots of fun.

Sadly, I haven't read any of the books with your giveaway so this is a great giveaway! Thank you so much for this chance. Happy Blogoversary! Three years is quite some time. I've just had my first one a few months back! But three years is such a great goal! Congrats! If I won I would most likely pick #5. I just found out about Uninvited, and it sounds so amazing! Also, A Thousand Pieces of You is one that I've being seeing a lot of in the last few weeks and been wanting to read it! Love your blog, once again congrats on the 3rd year Blogoversary! xox

Happy Blogoversary! I had a great time with the YA Contemporary Scavenger Hunt and it's so cool you got to meet all those amazing authors. I would choose prize pack 2 because I'm on a fantasy kick right now.

Congrats! You did so much this year! :) Those challenges and scavenger hunts for really to participate in. I'm looking forward to more cool things from you next year. :D And like many others, I would also choose Prize Pack 2 if I won. :) Thanks for the giveaway!

Happy blogoversary!! :) I wish you many more years and looking forward more cool things from you. I choose either Prize pack #2 or Prize pack #4. But look like #4 was very tempting me with cover books and name author. LOL!Thank you so much for chance to win this amazing giveaway :)

Happy, happy, happy blogoversary and wishing you many more amazing to come! :)I would definitely pick prize pack #5, it has all 3 books I'm really looking forward to reading.Thanks for the giveaway! :)

All of these books are some pretty amazing books and I've read a few of them, but I think that the 2nd or the 3rd would be the best that's right up my alley! Happy blogoversary, I always love the content that you share with us, you're definitely one of my favorite blogs. :)

CONGRATS! I really like your blog so keep it coming, girl. If I had to choose, I wouldn't know but problably prize #4 because of JLA books or prize #2 because of Kiss of Deception and Snow Like Ashes. Thanks for the giveaway.

CONGRATS ON YOUR BLOGOVERSARY! I think I'd choose either prize pack 1, 2, or 5, whichever of the three is available. They all just have so many books that I'm interested in reading! Thank you so much for the opportunity and congrats on the blogoversary!
